The Republic of Iormase is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Dog population. The hard-working population of 15.762 billion Iormaseans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 21.0%.

The Iormasean economy, worth 667 trillion Golds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 42,375 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iormase's national animal is the Dog.

Iormase is ranked 200,545^th in the world and 66^th in St Abbaddon for Highest Food Quality, scoring 11.9 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
